🏈 Scarbrough carted off

[BamaFan334]

No details, but just heard he was carted off the field and it was not looking good. Pray for Bo.

Hearing it's a knee.

Crap...

I just had to open my mouth Tuesday in the Tyren Jones thread.

I remember thinking how deep we were at RB.

Just think, only Derrick Henry remains from the Top 4 backs we signed a few years ago. Just goes to show you can never have enough.

This is not good. Our freshmen are going to have to step up, and here's to Kenyon continuing his recovery. Hopefully it's not an ACL.

The first scrimmage came and went Friday afternoon, and the University of Alabama didn't make it out unscathed.
Freshman running back Bo Scarbrough, who might have been counted on to bolster the depth at running back, was carted off the field with a knee injury.

Bo Scarbrough was expected to bolster Alabama's depth at running back.
UA coach Nick Saban the severity of the injury is unknown until full medical tests, including an MRI, are performed to determine whether or not the talented freshman tore his anterior cruciate ligament.
If Scarbrough's injury is serious, that's bad news for Alabama's depth at running back considering running back Tyren Jones was dismissed from the team earlier this week and Altee Tenpenny left the team in January. Combine that with Kenyan Drake returning from a scary broken leg and T.J. Yeldon's recent departure to declare for the NFL Draft, and a one-time strength is now a big-time question mark in regards to depth.
"Bo was doing pretty well, but we've had injuries, suspensions, and lost some people at that position, so what seemed like a pretty strong position for us, depth-wise, has gotten a little thin," Saban said.
Scarbrough rushed for two touchdown's during Friday's scrimmage and a total 36 yards on 16 carries (keep in mind that these statistics incorporate situational drills like goal-line plays).
On a positive note, Derrick Henry led the team with 112 yards on 11 carries and one touchdowns, and Drake is creeping closer to being back fully healthy.
"Kenyan has been able to do everything," Saban said. "He actually ran a 4.4 when we tested right before. I can't say that he's 100 percent, but I think that - the big thing we're trying to do is to get him all the reps we can get him, but not bang him around too much that he has a problem with his ankle and then once we get through the spring he'll have a significant amount of time to be able to get some rest and get in better condition, but he's really done well.
"So those two guys are really good."

ACL tear confirmed. F me man.

 

[TerryP]

Ok, think about this. CLK is going to call his offense.

What position group are you going to watch?

 

[Bamabww]

Bummer! Our youngsters are really going to have to step up.

@TerryP with CLK calling the shots, I'll be focusing on our WRs.
Guys just remember that a freshman in '08 and another one in '09 performed fairly well for true freshmen that didn't show up til summer. With Flowers already on campus and going through the spring and Harris to report in June, we will be ok. Ronnie Clark still working with RBs too.

Per Tidesports.com's Aaron Suttles:

(Bo) Broke his ankle his freshman year, tore his ACL sophomore and junior years. (In High School.)

 

[Rolltide24]

Man, so 3 ACL tears? That does not bode well for this young man's future. Not good at all. Unless he's another Thomas Davis.

You're exactly right, but what does it say that after all that he was still a five star and #1 athlete in the country.

To quote from the intro to the old 'Six Million Dollar Man' TV show, 'We can rebuild him. We can make him better than he was.'

 

[We All Bleed Crimson]

Hey Joe, would that violate any NCAA rules?
Man! What the heck is going on around here????!!?
